FAQs

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

New York City is serviced by 3 major airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Newark International Airport (EWR). Based purely on mileage, the shortest trip from airport to hotel would be LaGuardia then Newark (which is technically in New Jersey) then JFK. The experience traveling through and/or into the city can be very different depending on when you arrive.

Question

How should I get around?

Answer

Shuttle service will be provided to/from the Frederick/Smyth hotels and ceremony/reception on the day of the wedding. Otherwise, in our opinion, your best option would be Uber or Lyft, as they're readily available all over the city. If you're looking for the classic yellow cab experience, the hotels should be able to hail them for you! While we're avid users of public transit in the New York/New Jersey area, we'd really only recommend using the bus or subway if you or someone you're with is experienced in doing so. Not because it's dangerous, but because it's pretty confusing!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Valet parking will be offered at The Lighthouse.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love the little ones, this is an adults only affair.
